Ch 4: "My name is..."

as the opponent was put in a defending stance, Ali didn't stop himself from raining attacks on him as he finally took the chance and gave a punch straight to his guts!

when the opponent bent down, gasping for air, Ali moved above him and bent down himself to interlock his arms around his waist.

he then took a deep breath as he focused all his strength on his arms and picked him up! but it was shortlived as he used the momentum of falling backwards to throw the now upside down guy away.

the audience oohed from the sidelines as the guy fell down on the ground with a bang and didn't get back up again.

they all then cheered with some of them cursing for losing the bet for Ali gaining another victory and adding another one to his already impressive record.

he got up amongst all the cheers and walked to the grunting body on the ground as he searched his body and looted him of his money just like always.

the audience had already gotten used to the sight as some of them even laughed at his antics, making him snort with annoyance.

after seeing the plus something florins in his vision, he stood up with a satisfied grin and a snort as he rubbed his shoulder and rolled his hand to massage it.

he walked back to his seat and the table that nobody was allowed to get near to as he sat down and put the money on the already a few hundred florins.

and clapped his hands to rub off and clean his hands off of any dust as he cracked his knuckles :"alright, everyone, that's one more down.

now, who's next. as always, I'm gonna tell you. as you can see on the sign here, you have to pay up first before you can fight.

if you win, you take all the money that you can see here. then you can go and enjoy yourselves, buy wine or sleep around and shit.

but if you lose, then you will walk away like an intelligent being or else you will get another beating.

understood? now, who the hell is next? come on, step right up so I can knock ya down." and he got comfortable in his chair as he waited.

but unlike before, when it would take a little while for the people to come at him, someone immediately stepped into the stage and came to him :"well, then I will take my chances."

Ali looked at the speaker with a raised eyebrow. but the raised eyebrow turned into a shocked and surprised raise of eyebrows which quickly got concealed when he saw him.

he checked him up and down as he thought to himself :'wait a sec, isn't this Ezio's brother? what was his name...? Fred... it started with f I think... what was it?!'

random spectator :"hey, it's the Auditore siblings! he's Federico Auditore."

Ali smiled :'yes! that's right! Federico Auditore. thank you, random spectator. you were seriously helpful.'

Federico also smirked cockily when someone knew of his identity :"so? can I sign up? I want to fight."

Ali gave a toothy smirk as he pointed at the money beside him :"as I said, pay up, and get beaten up. as easy as that."

Federico grinned back as they looked at each challengingly :"here you go, then. 50 florins. a little bit expensive, don't you think so?"

Ali didn't count as he knew the amount was just right with the +50f flashed in his vision. so he put the bag on the box of money as he got up :"I fight for the fight of it.

otherwise, I already have enough money, don't you think so? so the money is a lot because I want the good fighters to come to me and not just a random dumb thug.

now, nice chat, but I've gotta beat you up now. and I apologize in advance, but I don't think I will be gentle."

Federico cracked his knuckles as he looked at him provokingly :"oh? I have to say the same. that money is too tempting to not give this my all after all."

as they got ready and got into their fighting positions, Ali looked at him with a smirk :"I always give the first strike to my opponent so I won't feel bad when I'm going wild on them. so go ahead and attack."

Federico didn't say anything more as he finally threw a punch at him, only to be blocked and have a right hook come right at his face.

but he luckily dodged but lowering himself and not getting hit. that wasn't enough of an assault for Ali, though.

so he immediately threw a jab at him which got blocked but left a sour spot on Federico's arm but didn't let it distract him.

after Ali threw a few more jabs at him, he finally had enough and tried to kick Ali's leg, the only place that didn't seem to have any defense.

but unfortunately for him, Ali wasn't just wild. even though he always acted as if he was on the offensive and didn't care about defense, he was actually more on the counter attack side of a guy.

so he was always carefully for attacks so that he can deal even more damage and take them by surprise when they didn't expect him to be careful.

and surprised was Federico's state when his kick not only didn't do any damage, but even became sore and numb when Ali defended his left leg with under his right foot.

Ali then grabbed his arm as he suddenly pulled with a strong force which caught him by surprise again as he then moved his leg to the back of Federico's leg and pushed him forward instead, making him fall to the ground.

Federico hurriedly moved his hand to grab onto something as his hand found Ali's shirt and pulled. karma's a bitch, cause it was Ali's turn to be surprised this time as he came crashing down with Federico!

but he focused back when he felt a sharp pain on his forehead which was the result of Federico going on the assault by headbutting him.

but instead of defending or trying to get away, Ali gave a wild smile which I will be calling his signature smile as he headbutted him instead!

he continued to headbutt the Federico who was clearly taken aback by his crazy and unexpected actions.

but he finally let go of him and they both rolled away from each other as they got up and got into a fighting stance again.

Federico rubbed his nose which had a little bit of blood coming off of it as they both panted :"I'm not gonna lie *pant* you fight good *pant*.

guess you *pant* weren't lying about *pant* beating me. *deep inhale and exhale* but I'm gonna win this fight and that money."

Ali's smirk didn't falter as he looked at him with a mocking gaze :"and let me guess, to buy a bed with it, right?"

Federico looked at him with confusion. confused at the question :"what? why would I buy just a bed with all that money?"

Ali's smile grew even more mocking as he snorted :"well, why else but to keep on dreaming about winning?!"

and he didn't let him say anything in response as he attacked him. but this time, there was a difference.

this time, he showed him why there was the rumors of him being a wild fighter. because holy smokes did he attack wildly at him!

he ran at him as he jumped and descended on him like a tiger coming down a mountain! he threw jabs at him left and right, leaving no room to defend as the poor Federico couldn't even block because of the force behind the punches!

and he could barely dodge with how fast they came and went. Ali finally decided to wrap it up as he took the chance and gave a harsh spartan kick to his guts!

he didn't fall back like the last guy who took it, but he couldn't stop his body from bending to ease the impact.

but Ali didn't give him any chance as he gave him an uppercut with his left hand and when he straightened up, landed a harsh punch to his cheek with his right hand that had gained momentum!

saying that the punch was strong and powerful would be an understatement. because it was so powerful for a normal human that it sent Federico flying!

the audience oohed at the show as they looked down on the grunting Federico who was on the ground with his hand on his cheek and chin.

one of the spectators above him looked back at Ali who was clenching and unclenching his fist to ease the sudden force that he applied to it and the other spectators :"nothing seems to be broken."

the audience broke into a feat of cheers as they oohed loudly and cheered at the show. Ali turned around in circles as he enjoyed the cheers.

but when he turned back towards Federico to show sportsmanship, he cought sight one of the most beautiful women that he has ever seen.

his breath hitched in his throat as he looked at the mesmerizing face of the beauty who helped Federico stand up.

as he took in all of her features, he saw how her brown hair was long enough to reach her big boobs that maid him gulp.

but he calmed down as he thought :'wait a sec, as much as I know, Federico didn't seem to have any lovers.

so this kind of beauty shouldn't be his girlfriend or something. and she is helping him up like how bros would do... like a sack of potatoes...

oh. fuck. me. is this... i-is this the l-legendary E-Ezio Auditore him-herself?! of, fuck me! like, literally, lady, go ahead and fuck me!

yup, it's settled. I'm definitely going to take her as my wife. I mean, come on! I would suck just the normal Ezio off happily with a smile on my face.

and this is a female Ezio with huge bodankers!! why wouldn't I want to take her as my wife?! am I some kind of an idiot or something?!'

Federico finally got up by the one hand that Ezio was willing to lend as he held his throbbing cheek and chin to ease the pain.

he took in a sharp breath as he looked at Ali who looked back and gave an acknowledging nod :"nice fight, amico (friend). I had fun. and I hope we can do it again sometimes."

seeing that he wasn't met with ridicules or insults, he smiled and laughed which earned him another sharp pain as he nodded at him :"same, it was fun.

but I will have to think about it if I want to fight again or not. and that is till after my handsome face recovers.

but for now, how about you fight my sister here? I'm telling, don't underestimate her just because she is a woman.

a lot of people have regretted underestimating her for me to count. in fact, she has a reputation of her own! so you should be able to enjoy the fight."

Ali walked closer so that the cheers and talking of the audience wouldn't disturb them as she looked at her with a raised eyebrow :"oh? really now?"

he held his hand up for her to grab. and she didn't disappoint as he then gave her slender hand a polite and gentle peck as introduction :"Che piacere incontrarla (it's nice to meet you), bellissima (beautiful). may I know what the name of such a pretty lady is? if you would honor me by telling me, of course."

he let go of her hand which she took back with a polite chuckle which made Ali's heart beat like bells :"Auditore. Ezio Auditore. it's nice to meet you too."
